Amanda Holden SLAMS Love Island and bans her 18 year old model daughter from going on the show ‘to be famous’

AMANDA Holden has slammed Love Island and admitted that she would never let her daughter go near the show.

The Heart Breakfast host admitted that despite her daughter soon turning the adult age of 18, she's wary about the ITV2 show.

Amanda, 51, shares two children, Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11, with record producer Chris Hughes.

But speaking on her radio show , the Britain's Got Talent judge admitted that she won't let her daughter appear on the long-running reality competition.

Speaking to both Amanda and Jamie Theakston, former Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts reported the happy news about the birth of Molly Mae and Tommy Fury's first child.

But she then asked the presenting pair if either of them would let their kids go on Love Island.

Both of the radio personalities were firmly in the negative camp.

Amanda said: "No way.. my daughter’s 18 next year!"

Meanwhile Jamie replied: "You don't go on that show to find love. We're not.. do you know what I mean it's just a manipulative."

As the conversation went on, Amanda did not mince her words about her real thoughts behind the popular romance competition.

The media personality seemed to think the people on the show are not genuine.

She explained: "It's just another way of being famous, isn't it really? It's not really about love.

"It's just about looking hot and just getting involved.

"I mean, it's just amazing telly but it's not really for love so I don't want my daughter anywhere near [it]."

Amanda's eldest daughter has been rumoured to be following in her mother's famous footsteps.

The pair previously stepped out together on the red carpet at the British Fashion Awards.

And it seems the budding model has plans to launch a showbiz career just like her famous mum.

The Sun previously revealed Lexi is set to earn a staggering £1m in just a year after being snapped up by Storm, the agency that helped make legendary Kate Moss a star.
